Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

HIGH-TENSION CORDS INSPECTION

1. REMOVE THROTTLE BODY
2. REMOVE NO.3 TIMING BELT COVER
3. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD REAR COVER
4. DISCONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS FROM SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COIL




- Disconnect the high-tension cords at the rubber boot.
- Do not pull on the high-tension cords.

NOTICE: Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor inside.

5. REMOVE DISTRIBUTOR CAP WITHOUT DISCONNECTING HIGH-TENSION CORDS
6. INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORD RESISTANCE





- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance without disconnecting the distributor cap.

Maximum resistance: 25 K ohms per cord

- If the resistance is greater than maximum, check the terminals.
- If necessary, replace the high-tension cord and/or distributor cap.
7. REINSTALL DISTRIBUTOR CAP
8. RECONNECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS TO SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COIL
9. REINSTALL CYLINDER HEAD REAR COVER
10. REINSTALL NO.3 TIMING BELT COVER
11. REINSTALL THROTTLE BODY
